This is an efficient system to replace an entire arch of teeth with just four implants. It is an acrylic system, utilizing an artificial gum line. On the first visit the dentist will add a fixed temporary plate. The permanent plate will be added after a healing period of four to six months. In the US, the system is also called “same day implants” as you can get the implants added in a single day. The first successful all-on-4 procedure was performed back in 1998. Since then, countless people have enjoyed the benefits of this implants system.

Why Are the Procedures So Affordable?
It is a valid question, one that you should be asking. What is the reason behind the amazing price difference you saw above? Thankfully, the answer is reassuring. The prices are not low because of a lack of quality. The primary reason for the price difference is the lower operating costs in Thailand. It costs much less to run a dental practice in Phuket than it does in any Australian or New Zealand city.
Moreover, the cost of living and cost of materials are also low in Thailand. So even the top dentists in Phuket can enjoy a very comfortable lifestyle without charging anywhere near as their Australian and New Zealand counterparts. On top of that, the red tape that often plagues businesses in first-world countries and drives up their prices are not an issue in Thailand.
So as you can see, the affordable dental procedures in Phuket do not come with the hidden cost of lower quality. People who do not know about this mistakenly think that getting dental procedures done in places like Phuket means risking your dental health. But as more people are discovering the reality, this myth is quickly dying. Granted, there might be some dental clinics out there that are not up to the mark. This is where our pre-screened list of clinics comes in.
